[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare

[Elaine T]

Have you tried commenting out the style instruction in personal.ini? Because I don't have any - did a search for 'style' and got nothing - and the story downloaded and was readable fine in my calibre.

I believe it to be the creator's style fault but I can't find how to discard it for this specific story.

Here is my only instruction about style in my personal.ini:

[archiveofourown.org:epub]

## Force FFF to keep some formating in the text
add_to_keep_html_attrs:,style,align

I've tried to put:

[https://archiveofourown.org/works/55981141:epub]

add_to_keep_html_attrs:

And setting 'keep_style_attr' to false for this story, but it doesn't work.

Hello, how can I add Kudos, hits and Comment count to Calibre, from ao3 ?

I have added this to my ao3 Section:

custom_columns_settings:
#characters=>#characters
fandoms=>fandoms
ao3categories=>categories
kudos=>kudos
hits=>hits
bookmarks=>bookmarks
comments=>comments

add_to_custom_columns_settings:
fandoms=>fandoms
ao3categories=>categories
kudos=>kudos
hits=>hits
bookmarks=>bookmarks
comments=>comments

But it does not get added automatically to the column, nor is there one of those three available in the "user-defined columns" Tab.

[JimmXinu]

custom_columns_settings has to be enabled by a checkbox on the Custom Columns tab near the bottom. Then you use it to tell FFF which metadata entries to put in what #customcolumns.

You have to make the columns yourself.

From defaults.ini:

Spoiler:

## (Plugin Only) - You can also populate calibre custom columns with
## the site specific metadata using custom_columns_settings (but only
## if 'Allow custom_columns_settings from personal.ini' is checked in
## the plugin GUI config.)  There are three parts, the entry name,
## then the label of the calibre custom column, then (optionally) a
## 'mode'.  'r' to Replace any existing values, 'a' to Add to existing
## value (use with tag-like columns), and 'n' for setting on New books
## only.  (Default is 'r'.)

## Literal strings can be set into custom columns using double quotes.
## Each metadata=>column mapping must be on a separate line and each
## needs to have one space at the start of each line.  There is also a
## special case for Integer and Float type custom columns: The static
## value "None" will clear the column.

## 'r_anthaver' and 'n_anthaver' can be used to indicate the same as
## 'r' and 'n' for normal downloads, but to average the metadata for
## the differents story in an anthology before setting in integer and
## float type custom columns.  This can be useful for a averrating
## column, for example.
## 'r_anthmax' and 'n_anthmax' indicate 'r' and 'n' for normal
## downloads, but to use the highest value for the metadata from the
## differents story in an anthology in integer and float type custom
## columns.
## Default is to sum the values of all stories, and numChapters and
## numWords are always summed.

#custom_columns_settings:
# cliches=>#acolumn
# themes=>#bcolumn,a
# timeline=>#ccolumn,n
# "FanFiction"=>#collection
# averrating=>#averrating,r_anthaver

So, I can update fanfics that are already in my archive but when I try to get story URLs from Email I get this error:


imaplib.IMAP4.error: b'[AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Invalid credentials (Failure)'



I know it isn't that Fanficfare can't connect to my account because when I use my gmail password it tells me that an app password is needed - meaning it recognizes the email account I'm attempting to access.

I've changed my password and Google App password a few times, added and removed the spaces in said password and turned 2 factor authentication on and off but it doesn't get through.


I haven't updated from my email in a few months so I missed out on the Google App password shift and all the changes that came with it. Did I miss out on something else that needs to be altered?


Note:
on the google side of things I made the password under the app name FanFicFare so unless the name the password is formed under is significant...

Hi,

The site fictionmania.tv doesn't work anymore. They switched to HTTPS and Fanficfare uses HTTP. Is there a way to set the required protocol myself?

Did you go read about what Google App Passwords actually are? Because it's not just your email password.

- adapter_fictionmaniatv: Change to https

[winfriedf]

Hi,

Sorry, I found another problem on fictionmania.tv. I tried downloading some new stories (from the last month), and for nearly all I got this error:

'NoneType' object has no attribute 'find_previous_siblings'

It seems that they changed more than the protocol - probably beginning of December 2024.

There are some example URLs:

Those all downloaded fine for me. Are you sure you installed the test version?

Please post a debug log if you're still seeing problems.

[winfriedf]

Hi,

The test version was installed, but it seems that the server counted my previous unsuccessful http-requests and locked me out with "Server Error 429 - too many requests". FFF tried to process this error page and creates the mentioned error. So i just have to wait one day. My mistake - sorry.

Question: What is proper way to exclude one category if another category is also present? e.g. Star Trek -> Star Trek: The Original Series - exclude first one. I may have asked this before sorry.

I shall not include my snarky remarks about "proper" ways.

There's probably more than one way, but the first to come to mind is to add a 'raw' copy of the metadata entry with .NOREPL to use conditional, something like:

add_to_extra_valid_entries:,categoryraw
include_in_categoryraw:category.NOREPL
add_to_replace_metadata:
 category=>^Star Trek$=>&&categoryraw=>^Star Trek.+$
